The NISSAN ALMERA (2000-06) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 DCI 112 SE is a practical family-sized hatchback from Nissan’s early-2000s range. It sits in the mainstream small-family-car class, offering five-door access and a useful blend of everyday space and straightforward design, rather than the fashionable image or sharp styling of some rivals. mycarcheck.com records 21 checks covering 16 different VINs, a useful snapshot but not a particularly large sample. Checked cars averaged £700 in private-sale value, 107,000 miles and about 4,000 miles driven annually; recorded keepers averaged 3.4. These figures describe vehicles checked, not a guarantee of condition or current market price. The 2.2-litre diesel Almera is suited to commuters and small families wanting a sensible used car for regular journeys; its modest recorded annual mileage may appeal, though every example needs checking. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra rivals, it is a less celebrated, value-minded choice, with practicality its main appeal.
